They reported a blow-out quarter, sending shares 9% higher. They beat revenues in 4 of their 5 largest divisions, boasted expanded marginsThey are part of the transition to nuclear energy, even though it will likely get less support under Trump, at a pace that will match customer needs. Also, he likes their power systems business (generators, commercial power systems for buildings), timely during the data centre boom. Caveat: While only 9% of their sales come from China, those could be hit by Trump tariffs.
One of the global leaders in diesel engine technology. Has been a fabulous company since early 2000. It has followed a lot of the global growth in truck manufacturing. Has been weak lately because emerging markets have been weaker, and the order books out of some of those areas have been slow. Trucking in general had some headwinds 2-3 years ago with the $100 oil. Long-term this is a great company. Looking for it to grow earnings probably in the 10% rate over the next 3-5 years. Valuation is quite low right now. On his watch list and he is waiting for the US$ to settle down a bit. Attractive at this price.
Very, very well-run company. Good track record of really good capital allocation. Trading at very reasonable multiples and very capital efficient. Good dividend which should grow over time. Have done a good job of expanding overseas. Considering the big drop off in heavy equipment manufacturing and purchasing, this has done an excellent job. Expanding well into China and India and picking up dealerships. You should have this in your portfolio.
